       Junior Interassociation Tournament

Congratulations to all our boys that were involved in the Interassociation Tournament that was part of the World Tennis Challange.

The EDTA's 14's and 15's boys teams won overall. I am very proud to say that in the 14's team 2 of the 4 boys were from the Campbelltown Tennis Club and in the 15's team 3 of the 4 boys were from Campbelltown. These boys were Dean Polisena, Charlie and Alex Savory, Jake Galouzis and Paul Agostinelli. Well done to you all!!!

       Lord Mayors Cup 2009

Congratulations to Paul Hedges & Marco Maio, David & Mark Sosnowski, and Nick Mashei & Tony Polese who finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively in the Lord Mayors Cup!

As a lead up to the World Tennis Challenge, the Lord Mayors Cup is a doubles tournament open to all standards of players, which took place at Memorial Drive.

All of the guys thoroughly enjoyed the two days of competition, and are now looking forward to the 2010 tournament! You can view the results and final standings here, and there are a couple of photos of the boys below.

       Hills Junior Tournament - Mt Barker

Congratulations to Dean Polisena, from our Division 1B juniors, who won the consolation Grand Final in the Hills Tournament in Mt Barker on the 29th December, 9-2. He played very well throughout the tournament, coming up against the number one seed (P Trutwin) in his second round. This match could have gone either way, the end result was 7-9 and probably should have been the Grand Final for the major round as both boys had easy Grand Finals in the end.

Dean and his doubles partner Harry Mlaco made it to the semi finals in the doubles competition going down 3-9 to the number one seeds.

       Family Day/Club Tournament

Thankyou to all who attended, and helped organise the day. It was a resounding success, and a great day was had by all involved!

Congratulations to Full Metal Racquet (Marco Maio, Ash Mashei, Nick Mashei & Tony Polese) who took out the inaugral Campbelltown Tennis Club Social Mens Winter Competition, and shared 3 $50 vouchers and a Wilson tennis bag between all thanks to Sportspower Newton. They managed to overcome Sozzled (Paul Hedges, David Sosnowski, Mark Sosnowski, Ayumu Shimada), who received various Coopers shirts and hats, 3 sets to 2, in what was a matchup deserved of the Grand Final! Was great to see a good crowd out there supporting the Final!

Congratulations must also go to Paul Hedges who won a magnum of Coopers Vintage for being the Best Overall Player over the course of the season, and Marco Maio who was runnerup and won a $50 voucher from Sportspower Newton. The Best Doubles Player went to Mark Sosnowski who won a Wilson tennis bag. While the best players from each team, Daryl Lowry, Steve Mitchell, Joe Carbone, Marco Maio, Paul Hedges and Tim Eckert all received Coopers gear and a bottle of wine.

All reports were that it was very much enjoyed all Winter, so thankyou to everyone who played, and we look forward to seeing you plus hopefully some new teams next year! Also thankyou to John "The Chef" Tardivo who ran the canteen and bar every Thursday, as well as Tim Eckert and Mark Sosnowski who helped organise the prizes. Finally a big thankyou to Sportspower Newton and Coopers who generously donated the prizes for Presentation Night!

Photos are now also up from the Final and Presenatation! Thankyou to Tim Eckert who took most of the shots over the Winter!

Already looking forward to next Winter! Cheers!
